I found the auction catalog. The S-121a is on page 10

http://www.eacs.org/catalogs/EAC_2_2014.pdf

Mine has far superior details and the damage may be as bad as on mine, so I think I'll put it up for auction with a $750 reserve. What do you guys think?

Pre-auction bidding is now open. It is lot 180 and you can see it in the link below. The bid is already $500, a 100x increase to what I paid.

However, I think the estimate is a bit high, and the rarity is also a little high, but oh well.

The sale hasn't concluded yet. It is in the Goldberg's Pre-Long Beach sale at the end of this month.

Congratulations! Generally, I believe that the best finds to be had are among early large cents and colonial coppers. Personally, I've found two NC's and a Wreath cent. I see that another CCF member just scored on a Chain cent!

Nowadays, there is ever so much information available on coin varieties. It really pays to study your coins ...
